F is for Family

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

                                “C” is for Cookie, the Cookie Monster

This year, I’ve realized how blessed I am to be a part of my family. In the face of crisis, loss, and grief we’ve come together; brought together by love and hope. And the holidays were no exception.

On Christmas Eve Eve, the girls got together at my aunt Holly’s new casa with a mission in mind..make cookies. And while when three hours into the endeavor we were only beginning to cut the first batch of dough into stockings, trees, and snowmen, it was fun—stressful, tense, and loud—but very, very fun. There’s something about family. And Christmas. And cookies.
